Yeah, couldn't agree more. I've loved this colt for a while now and it was good to see him go a mile around two turns. I wasn't sure he'd be able to do it. He's got one of the nicer strides on the 3 year olds that I've seen. I think he is better suited as a sprinter, but evidentally, he can go a mile too. Nice win for Teuflesberg.

Yeah, but instead of trusting my initial viewpoints, I changed my mind at the last minute. I didn't play this race today, luckily. I would have been ripping tickets. LOL

Yeah, but it isn't a throwout in terms of exposing Hard Spun. He's not going to be on the lead in the Derby and have a shot so if that is how he is going to rate he is in big trouble.

I wasn't certain he could get a mile effectively, but I know that Pedigree Ann stated that maybe he could get a mile at Aqueduct, but she doubted at Oaklawn. Who knows...

I DO think he's a better sprinter and I think he'll be a really nice one if he's allowed to do that. I DON'T think that Teuflesberg is going to have an easy time getting 10 furlongs in the derby (if he's entered.)

I got the pick 3 going with the 4 and 8 in the 10th. Can we say a signer maybe? Oh BTW go to Oaklawn Live Streaming Radio at Oaklawn.com and you can listen to the live race call with Realplayer on the computer.

which is exactly why Pino will be taken off....this came up last week and Porter said he would stick with Jones's pick of Pino....but let me tell you, this was his test and he failed miserably....

There was nothing special about that field and any horse can get a mile against soft competition over a speed favoring surface. I'd be surprised if any of those horses even makes the Derby. Toy race.

THe connections should've just scratched after the draw. The outside posts are a graveyard at that distance. Anyways I liked what I saw from Hard Spun today. It wasn't his fault.

I'm not sure about the 4 being a signer but the 8 looks like it will be.

Bravely held on for fourth? He was 1-5 and should have been able to handle a trip wide around both turns if he was something really special.

If the public knew in advance that he would require a really crafty groundsaving ride in order to take down Tueflesberg, I don't think he would have been at such a short price.

He was supposed to merely laugh at this field and win in a romping fashion as much the best. I didn't believe that but its just that the trip wasn't supposed to factor into it at all.

This is a derby prep, and part of the prepping is to see how horses handle less than ideal trips.

I don't see this as something to pin on Pino, I just don't think anyone was going to get HS to the winners circle today. It was much more than the rider making a mistake. He didn't lose by a neck.
